Planning Board Meeting Minutes 4/25/2013
Members Present: Maggie Leonard; co-chair, Bridget Krans, Alan Salaman, Larry Klein, Stephen Enoch; co-chair and Barry Karson
Meeting to order: 7:09
- Mr. Enoch started off the meeting by suggesting that the structure of the meetings be changed to accommodate board members that may be running late. It was suggested that the board open the mail first and then present reports from board members. This was not officially voted on but the majority of the board agreed.
- Meeting minutes: the previous meeting minute from 3/27/12 were approved as submitted. Minutes from 4/11/13 could not be approved due to the fact that not enough members were present.
- Special Permit Application: A special permit application was received for 16 Seven Arts Road. The property on Seven Arts is non-conforming because of the amount of buildings on one lot. The application proposes screening in an existing 14 x 14 open deck. This will be a 13 percent increase in space according to the application. The existing deck will be removed, rebuilt and enclosed. Additionally a new deck measuring 20 x 32 will be added. The application states that the non-conforming nature is not increased. The screened in porch will conform to the setbacks. The board agreed that the plans did not violate any of the zoning bylaw criteria. Mr. Salamon made a motion to approve the plan. Mr. Karson seconded the motion and the board unanimously approved.
- Flood plain bylaw review: The board discussed two reasons to be a part of the national flood plain bylaw. Reason number one is that private companies can turn down an application and FEMA cannot. Reason number two is that private company’s premiums are more. It would be economical. Mr. Klein stated that unless the town of Monterey adopts a flood plain bylaw home owners cannot work with FEMA. Maggie is going to look over the bylaws from other towns and outline the similarities.
- Solar bylaw and bylaw revisions: the board continued to work on the solar bylaw as well as the bylaw revision that was previously submitted. It was pointed out that there was an over sight and the telecommunications overlay district was not in the bylaw revision. Telecommunication and solar need to be added to the overlay district. Section 2.2 is reserved for special and overlay districts. Section 2.2.1 is for personal wireless. Section 2.2.2 is for solar voltaic.
- Use tables: Stephen proposed that we make K mimic the wording of section 2.2. Alan disagreed. Discussion continued on the labeling and wording of the tables. The board agreed on labeling K utilities and includes telecommunications, solar and in the future wind. Larry moved to accept the above mentioned, Stephen seconded it. Barry opposed, Maggie, Bridget and Alan agreed. Residential solar needs to be added to definitions. 0-30 kw is residential solar voltaic/small scale.
- Mail: notification of chapter 91- dock filing.
- Meeting adjourned at 8:40PM.
